Huddersfield are set to welcome back three regulars on Friday and Wakefield’s Tyler Randell is set to make his long-awaited return to action. 

Simon Woolford has made three changes to his Huddersfield side that lost to Warrington last week Jordan Turner, Sebastine Ikahihifo and Oliver Roberts return and replace Jake Wardle, Matty English and Joe Wardle.

Wakefield coach Chris Chester has named an unchanged squad from the one that lost to Hull FC last time out. Randell is set to play his first game from round one though, while Craig Kopczak could return after recovering from a foot injury.
